News for the Detectives
The Los Angeles Tribune has created crossovers with many series.
I have not been able to verify the crossovers with Wonder Woman, Moonlighting, and City of AngelsThe November Plan.
At first I did not consider this a crossover; however, after seeing many screen shots, I was convinced these did cross with each other. The Tribune's title font changed somewhere between Lou Grant and Remington Steele. The font from Burke's Law and Lou Grant match; and the font from the rest, incluiding Burke's Law (1994), match. With the two fonts in the same franchise, I deduced the font must have changed.
